Boulder's Open Space Board of Trustees delayed a meeting on whether to recommend the City Council accept a herd of buffalo from Ted Turner.

The board originally was scheduled to discuss the herd at Monday night's meeting, but had to push the agenda item back due to discussion about the U.S. Pro Cycling Challenge, according to board chairman John Putnam.

The discussion on the buffalo herd now will take place May 23, though a time has not yet been set. The board will decide at the meeting whether to recommend the city accept or decline the herd of buffalo.

A study on the herd commissioned by the City Council was presented to the board on April 11.

The City Council is expected to hold a study session about whether to accept the herd on May 29.

Turner, founder of CNN, announced during an October visit to his bison-serving restaurant -- Ted's Montana Grill -- that he wanted to donate a buffalo herd to the city for viewing along U.S. 36 between Davidson Mesa and Boulder.
